How to print source code from the command line

[Michael Shiloh]

To answer my own question:

	sudo apt-get install a2ps

	a2ps - format files for printing on a PostScript printer
	By default, the output is sent to the default printer.

works almost perfectly, with a bit of tweaking of my left margin. Of course
now my printer is out of ink, wouldn't you know...
